Summary/Abstract: NATO Centres of Excellence are essential organizations for supporting the Alliance’s adaptation to current and future operational environments. The NATO HUMINT Centre of Excellence (COE), part of a larger network of NATO-accredited COEs, is engaged in enhancing NATO’s HUMINT capability by synchronizing its functions with societal developments and conflict dynamics. In this effort, collaboration with academia and industry (stimulating the development of new concepts and adapting technology to HUMINT procedures), and leveraging observations and best practices from operational theatres, training frameworks, and academic knowledge ensure the necessary input to foster continuous improvement in standardization efficiency and education quality. Since its inception, the NATO HUMINT COE has demonstrated exceptional responsiveness to the Alliance’s requests for support, playing a decisive role in the development of the HUMINT community within NATO. Its comprehensive HUMINT development program positively influences the establishment and implementation of HUMINT standards, significantly contributing to the Alliance’s interoperability and operational efficiency. The Centre’s high-quality contributions to the Intelligence transformation process and the visibility of its projects within NATO’s command and force structures underline its crucial role in enhancing NATO’s capabilities.
